List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, I'm Anoop from India. I'm doing a project on Diskless cluster for my college. I have encountered a problem while setting the client side configuration. I have configured the DHCP, TFTP and PXE servers. Plus i have configured the NFS and NIS servers . All of them are on a single machine. I've even compiled a kernel for the slave nodes . Everything works fine while booting up the client. Right from getting it's IP address, to loading the kernel, booting with it etc etc. .. but when it tries to start the portmapper .. it says /etc/init.d/portmap .. line 1 : id not found /etc/init.d/portmap .. line 39 : [ : = : Unary operator expected Mounting NFS Filesystems : and here .. it either stuck or taking too much time.. it does not load the NFS filesystems.. i think i waited too long once to see a timeout. Its managed to take the root file system while loadin the kernel... so exporting my filesystem from server is ok. This is how my /etc/fstab for the slave looks like : 192.168.1.1:/usr /usr nfs defaults 0 0 192.168.1.1:/home /home nfs defaults 0 0 192.168.1.1:/tftpboot/dual2 / nfs defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 ip address for my server is below for slave its 192.168.1.2. if i remove the first 3 lines of /etc/fstab .. it reaches the login screen without the filesystems and bash cant recognise most of the usual commands like rpcinfo, ntsysv etc etc ... Pls help me. I'm just a newbie in linux.
